Dive into Paul McCartney’s Record Collection with Yorick van Norden!

Did you know that, besides his illustrious career as a (former) Beatle, Paul McCartney owns an extraordinarily diverse record collection? None other than singer-songwriter Yorick van Norden—the foremost Paul McCartney connoisseur in the Netherlands—was given detective-like access to this musical treasure trove. His surprising discoveries range from classics by The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd to hip-hop from Eminem and Afrobeat from Fela Kuti.

In the first half of 2025, Yorick will be touring the country with his theater show De platenkast van Paul McCartney (“Paul McCartney’s Record Collection”). During this show, he’ll guide you through McCartney’s musical world, performing a selection of the hidden gems he found and sharing his own experiences at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. He even recorded some tracks there, which he’ll naturally perform live!

On Sunday, April 13, Yorick will take to the main stage in Hall 2 for a unique live session. You can also purchase his book of the same name, De platenkast van Paul McCartney, and have it signed! Don’t miss this chance to learn more about McCartney’s versatile taste—and to hear Yorick perform in person.
